NBC Winter Olympics on Silverlight

Larry Larsen — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:08:00 GMT

NBC and Microsoft are getting the band back together for a full Silverlight experience around the 2010 Winter Olympics. You'll have DVR control of the video, including rewind, sharing, and saving clips. There will be a Facebook Connect feature to allow you to socialize the insanity (or coolness, depending on your POV) of skiing with a rifle.

The site will also include Deep Zoom photo galleries so you can enjoy each flake of snow individually. More details to come as we get closer to the event. Related article from TechCrunch.

Using Eclipse to build Silverlight applications in Java, PHP and Ruby

Robert Hess — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:31:00 GMT

As hard as it might be to believe, not everybody is using Visual Studio as their development platform. Then what if they want to develop a Silverlight application? Is notepad their only option?

Fortunately not. Vijay Rajagopalan did a session at MIX09 earlier this year which shows how we've been working hard to provide interoperability support for Eclipse users that not only allows them to use Eclipse as their development environment, but also allows them to integrate their Silverlight applications into PHP, Ruby, or Java.

And if you want more details, you can watch Vijay's MIX09 session here:

Coding .NET on a Netbook

Dave Isbitski — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:08:00 GMT

Netbooks are becoming very popular these days. But what does Windows 7 really run like on it? Can I run Ultimate? What about being a developer - can I run Visual Studio 2008/2010, Expression Studio 3.0, Silverlight and WPF?

The answer is yes. I've been using a Netbook as my main development machine for a few weeks now and wanted to show you what I've learned. See first hand what the development tools you know and love run like on a Netbook.

PDC09 Workshop: Getting the Most out of Microsoft Silverlight 3

Robert Hess — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 22:56:00 GMT

It can be easy to get caught up in all of the fancy graphics, transitions, and video effects that are part of Silverlight, but that doesn’t mean you can’t write serious, business ready, applications that not only take advantage of Silverlight but are also better because of it.

At the upcoming PDC, one of the workshops being done on the day before is “Getting the Most out of Microsoft Silverlight 3” by Richard Griffin and Ian Griffiths. I’ve asked Mike Taulty to be my special correspondent and provide us with an interview with “the two Griffs” so we can get some insight as to what their day-long workshop will be like and who should be attending it.

You can get more details about their workshop at the PDC09 website here:

Silverlight and HPC Enable On-Demand Engineering Design

Mike Ormond — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:35:00 GMT

dezineforce (http://www.dezineforce.com) recently completed a proof-of-concept with Microsoft to look at how they could overhaul their user experience using Silverlight 3.

dezineforce offer a scalable, on-demand engineering design capability over the web. Backed by a powerful HPC cluster, their front-end web interface is currently built using HTML and AJAX. They were keen to explore opportunities to build an enhanced experience for their users.

In this video I chat to some of the people involved in the project to get their perspective on the project and the results.

Mantacore CS - en modulär flerskiktad arkitektur med Silverlight

Swedish MSDN Team — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:27:00 GMT

Mantacore bygger webbaserade lösningar för försäkringsbranschen som hanterar kunder, produkter och affärsprocesser.

När jag fick höra att de byggt sin senaste version av Mantacore CS med en Silverlight-klient skyndade jag mig dit för att intervjua Fredrik Cederberg, utvecklingschef samt Emil Bergvall och Håkan Boman som är ansvariga systemarkitekter.

De gav mig en inblick i hur arkitekturen ser ut i ett modulärt uppbyggt system som har höga krav på skalbarhet, prestanda och att kundanpassningar ska vara så enkla som möjligt. Allt filmat i äkta Channel9-stil med en skakig handhållen kamera :)
